Logan Hutsko scored from an inconceivable angle in his return to action. I am still not sure how he was able to hit the far high corner of the net from his location. BC has converted only 2 of 23 power-play attempts in 5 games and have allowed 7 goals in 27 while short-handed. Eagles…

The Providence Friars are a very solid team but BC needs to play with more determination if they are going to make a run at the Hockey East Championship and the NCAA tournament. PC upended the Eagles 6-2 but the score did not reflect the relative balance in play. Jerry York alluded to the fact…

Boston College hockey history is filled with great players, great coaches, and fun-filled stories. The 1949 NCAA championship team led by the immortal Snooks Kelley proved to be the best in all of college hockey that year. Many thanks to Joe Burke for posting a video link capturing the personalities from that magical 1949 season-when…

Boston College fought back valiantly against #1 ranked Denver team- closing a 5-2 deficit to 5-4 early in the third period-only to see the Pioneers score on a power play. 6-4 was the final score from a sold-out Magness Arena in Denver. BC is now 2-2 in the early season with strong wins against a…

Boston College Freshman Goaltender Spencer Knight has been thrust into full time duty after the injury to Ryan Edquist. Knight played another great game last night-saving 30 shots against the #1 ranked Denver Pioneers. Sophomore Forward Patrick Giles is out until mid to late December with a broken hand. Giles looked good in the pre-season…

Boston College (#6) started slow but came on strong against #1 ranked Denver and was tied at zero after one period. David Cotton shot hit the post late in period for the best Eagle scoring chance. Spencer Knight held the fort early with Denver carrying the play. BC first line could not get going with…

The Eagles 3-0 win over Colgate was not as electrifying as the Friday night victory over the Wisconsin Badgers. BC will gladly accept the win- as it raises their record to 2-0 as they head west to face the Denver Pioneers next weekend. Luke McInnis netted a first-period goal to start the scoring and Logan…

Jerry York predicted his club would be more reflective of his powerhouse teams of past seasons-and that is exactly what we saw tonight-in a thrilling up and down 5-3 victory over a powerful Wisconsin club. Julius Mattila scored two goals and added an assist as the Eagles scored early and surged to a 4-1 lead.…

It is time to buy your Boston College hockey tickets. The Eagles played their way from behind after taking 3 first period penalties and upended a very capable New Brunswick team 4-2 at Conte Forum today. One game is a small sample, but I liked the play of each and every BC player today. Freshman…
